It was just an overall inferior product IMO. That said, if someone else feels that PureSim is a better game, than so be it. That's why they make vanilla and chocolate. I just don't see the point coming to this board in order to bash OOTP, it just seems childish to me and I'm ashamed to have even let myself get sucked into someone else's venom.
I play historical just for fun and nostalgia. I'm not trying to win. I'm not trying to get the best team. So I setup the pix, the stadiums and the logos. Then I play out games to see the players and the teams from back when. After maybe half a season I'll pick a different year. I'll come back to the same year over again many times. So I looked at PureSim, like you did, for the Tru-life and the managers (it would be nice if OOTP had this option). But the pbp and the immersion just weren't there.

Fictional, of course, is more of a game. Very different.
